Versatility is at the heart of the three-row Lexus GX 460. Engineered to excel in diverse environments, from demanding off-road adventures to refined urban settings, it provides exceptional craftsmanship and comfortable seating for up to seven passengers. Available heated and ventilated front seats enhance comfort, standard on Premium and Luxury trims and optional on the base model. For those seeking an even more luxurious experience, the Sport Design Package available for Premium and Luxury trims features second-row captain’s chairs.

The 2020 GX 460 makes a bold statement with its refreshed signature spindle grille, aligning it with the contemporary Lexus design language seen in models like the Lexus IS 2020. New standard Premium triple-beam LED headlamps further accentuate the grille’s refined aesthetics, providing enhanced visibility and a striking visual signature.

Conquer Every Terrain: City Streets to Mountain Trails
The Lexus GX 460 is engineered to be a true dual-purpose luxury vehicle, equally adept at handling daily commutes and weekend escapes. Its robust 4.6-liter V8 engine delivers 301 horsepower and 329 lb.-ft. of torque, providing ample power for any adventure. With a substantial 6,500-lb. towing capacity, the GX 460 is ready to haul boats, trailers, and recreational gear. Trailer Sway Control, integrated within the Vehicle Stability Control system, further enhances towing confidence by promoting stable straight-line tracking. This powerful and versatile performance is a key differentiator for the GX 460 in the luxury SUV segment, appealing to drivers who value capability alongside refinement, much like the drivers drawn to the performance-oriented Lexus IS 2020.
Exquisite Interior Craftsmanship
Luxury permeates the cabin of the GX 460, reflecting Lexus’s unwavering commitment to handcrafted details and premium materials. Available features such as a wood and leather-trimmed heated steering wheel showcase the use of hand-selected materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The available semi-aniline leather upholstery is dyed throughout, offering superior richness and durability compared to conventional surface-dyed leathers. For 2020, Premium and Luxury trims introduce elegant Gray Sapele wood trim with aluminum accents, further enhancing the interior ambiance. This dedication to interior luxury aligns with the sophisticated cabin design found in other Lexus models, including the Lexus IS 2020.
The 2020 GX 460 offers a vibrant palette of seven exterior colors, including Starfire Pearl, Atomic Silver, Nebula Gray Pearl, Nightfall Mica, Fire Agate Pearl, Black Onyx, and Claret Mica.

Superior On-Road and Off-Road Control
The Lexus GX 460 is equipped with the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (KDSS), enhancing both on-road handling and off-road capability. KDSS optimizes vehicle stability by automatically adjusting suspension settings to maintain levelness, particularly beneficial when encountering uneven terrain. By enabling greater wheel articulation, KDSS helps ensure all four wheels maintain contact with the ground, maximizing traction and control. This advanced suspension technology contributes to the GX 460’s composed ride, whether on paved roads or challenging trails, offering a level of control and comfort expected from Lexus vehicles, including the Lexus IS 2020.

For enhanced on-road refinement, the available Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) further elevates the GX 460’s ride quality. AVS utilizes electronically controlled dampers that continuously adapt to road conditions, optimizing comfort and handling. Drivers can personalize the driving experience by selecting from Normal, Sport, or Comfort modes, tailoring the suspension response to their preferences. This level of customization and driver-focused technology is a hallmark of Lexus, ensuring vehicles like the GX 460 and Lexus IS 2020 deliver a personalized and engaging driving experience.
Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive System
The Lexus GX 460’s full-time automatic four-wheel drive system provides уверенность and capability in all conditions. A TORSEN® torque-sensing limited slip center differential intelligently distributes power, typically sending 40% to the front and 60% to the rear wheels. The system dynamically adjusts torque distribution based on wheel slip, optimizing traction in varying driving scenarios. For demanding off-road situations, the four-wheel drive system offers a low range, and the center differential can be electronically locked for maximum traction. This sophisticated four-wheel drive system ensures the GX 460 is prepared for diverse terrains, providing capability expected of a luxury SUV, while Lexus also offers refined driving dynamics in models like the Lexus IS 2020 for on-road enthusiasts.
Complementing the robust four-wheel drive system is a suite of chassis control technologies. Downhill Assist Control (DAC), Hill-start Assist Control (HAC), Active Traction Control (A-TRAC), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), and available Crawl Control work in concert to provide уверенность and control on challenging terrain. These systems empower drivers to navigate unpaved roads, trails, and steep inclines with greater ease. This focus on off-road technology sets the GX 460 apart, appealing to adventurers while Lexus also caters to different driving needs with models like the Lexus IS 2020 focused on sporty on-road performance.
Unleashing Off-Road Potential
For drivers seeking to maximize the GX 460’s off-road prowess, the available Off-Road Package on Luxury grade enhances its already impressive capabilities. This package incorporates proven off-road technologies, including Lexus’ Multi-Terrain Monitor and Panoramic View Monitors with front and passenger cameras, providing enhanced visibility of surroundings. Additional features include a transmission cooler, fuel tank protector, Crawl Control, and Multi-Terrain Select. This comprehensive package demonstrates Lexus’s commitment to providing genuine off-road capability in a luxury SUV, a different focus compared to the sporty sedan segment where the Lexus IS 2020 excels.

Multi-Terrain Select allows drivers to optimize vehicle settings for various surfaces, including loose rocks, mud and sand, and moguls. This system intelligently regulates wheelspin by automatically adjusting engine throttle and braking, maximizing traction and control in challenging conditions. The Multi-Terrain Monitor and Panoramic View Monitors provide drivers with comprehensive views of the vehicle’s surroundings, including front, rear, side, and even under-vehicle perspectives, displayed on the navigation screen. This advanced visibility technology enhances уверенность and safety when navigating demanding off-road terrain, a key feature for the GX 460, while Lexus also focuses on advanced technology in models like the Lexus IS 2020 for on-road driving.
Crawl Control: Advanced Off-Road Assistance
The available Crawl Control system provides advanced assistance when tackling challenging landscapes. Activated with a simple button press, Crawl Control automatically maintains a slow and steady pace, allowing drivers to focus on steering through difficult terrain. Designed for low-speed off-road driving, Crawl Control modulates throttle and brakes across five selectable speed settings. By managing these functions automatically, Crawl Control reduces driver workload and enhances control in demanding situations. Crawl Control also engages front and rear “virtual” locking differentials to minimize tire slippage and optimize chassis behavior. This technology further enhances the GX 460’s off-road prowess, distinguishing it in the luxury SUV market, even as Lexus also offers advanced driving technologies in models like the Lexus IS 2020.
Multimedia and Connectivity
The Lexus multimedia system in the GX 460 features a touchscreen with a customizable home screen, displaying up to three sections simultaneously for easy access to frequently used functions. The available navigation system with three-dimensional map views provides enhanced guidance. Rear-seat passengers benefit from two additional USB ports, bringing the total to four, ensuring device charging for all occupants. This focus on connectivity and user-friendly technology is consistent across the Lexus lineup, ensuring vehicles like both the GX 460 and Lexus IS 2020 meet modern customer expectations.
Lexus Enform Safety Connect provides peace of mind with access to Lexus Enform response centers 24/7/365 for the first 10 years of ownership. Lexus Enform Service Connect provides vehicle health alerts and maintenance reminders, notifying both the owner and preferred Lexus retailer. The Lexus Enform Remote service enables remote vehicle operations via smartphone, smartwatch, or devices with Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, including locking/unlocking doors, starting the engine and climate control, and checking fuel levels.
